FARM NOTES.
The art of plowing is too much neglect
ed. Good plowing lies at the very founda-
tion of good farming, and the farmer who
sends his duli band or careless boy to per-
form this work commits a very serious
mistake.
The ordinary concentrated lye is really
caustic soda, which is cheaper than potash.
Soda lye makes bard soap and potash lye
soft soap. Soapeuds from soft soap make a
valuable fertilizer, but soda uds are
not considered valuable, except for celery
and asparagus, which are always benefitted
by soda in any form. The use of any kind
of soapsuds is beneficial in assisting to lib-
erate plant food in the soil, however.
To enjoy palatable and wholesome vege:
tables during the winter months proper
care and attention are just as essential in
harvesting and storing as in cultivation.
Roots and vegetables, as they are often
promiscuously thrown in heaps about the
cellar, soon lose their freshness and flavor.
Most of our house cellars are too warm for
the proper preservation of vegetables, and
it is therefore advisable to store only a lim-
ited quantity for immediate use in the
house, while the main stock should be
kept in a cool barn, cellar or outdoor pit.
In selecting seed wheat each and every
one shoald be guided by his peculiar local
ity, hut every true, enterprising farmer
should experiment with some of the im-
proved varieties—if only a bushel. A peck
is better than nothing, for it can be com-
pared with a like quantity of ‘old famil-
iars,” and the method and difference of
growth, adaptability and yield voted. It
is the farmer’s daty to do this, and not
leave it to the seedsmen and originators.
If all woold t1y experiments there would
soon be a great revolution in wheat cul-
tare.
Some farmers e that it is best to set
posts early in the fall, when the ground is
solid. Of course, a post carefully set at
any time will remain in its place, but the
fall season is really a much worse time than
in the spring. Digging the hole makes the
soil loose, and if done in the fall it bas not
time to become compact again. Water fil-
ters down through the loose soil, which
will raise the post a little every year until
it throws it ont altogether. If the soil has
time to settle it absorbs less moisture, and
after the first year, if the heaving oat bas
not already began, it will rarely begin.
An excellent way to keep cabbages is to
put them close together, roote in the
ground, aud cover them, so as to protect
against rain, first placing salt bay or straw
over the heads. By this plan the cabbages
will keep until late in the spring, as the
stalks will take root and throw ont sprouts
or greens, after the beads are gone. By
burying the heads, with the roots up, the
frost prevents their use, and when the
frost leaves them the ground is damp and
the heads rot. It will be found cf advan-
tage to store cabbage with the roots in the
ground, as stated, if for no other purpose
thau to secure the early greens.
Every year the line is being drawn more
closely about dairy products, and each suc-
ceeding year brings an increased demand
for strictly first-class grades and a weaker
demand for the poorer ones. In all proba-
bility the time is vot far distant when it
will be almost impossible to dispose of
poor hutter at all, except as grease, and at
grease prices. Notwithstanding all that is
said against imitation butter, it isa truth
that the meanest, filthiest imitation of all
is wade from genuine cow’s milk, but in
such a slovenly, incompetent manner that
all valne and trace of gennineness have
been eliminated.
The proper time in which to select seeds
is late in the fall or winter. The reason
for requiring this portion of the year lor so
doing is because there is then no hurry and
the work can be done better. The common
practice of laying the seed corn aside to re-
main until spring has done great damage
to the corn crop, as very often the excess
of imperfect grains is such as to cause a
failure of germination over the whole field.
Every ear of corn should be examined, and
the inferior grain shelled off. Vegetable
seeds also require examination, for insects,
dampness — other caupses interfere with
their safekeeping. Of course, every farmer
is supposed to be careful with his seeds,
but very few farmers know the condition
of their seeds until the time when they are
required for planting, and then the farm-
ers are too much harried to do anything
with them.
No family garden is complete withoutan
asparagus This vegetable can be
grown from seed, but the quickest method
of procuring i% is to put in roots, which
shonld be ope or two years old. The seed
is sown in the fall, or very early in the
spring. There are two methods of cultiva-
tion, one being the digging of trenches,
which are filled with well-rotted manure,
setting in the roots so that the crowns will
be below the surface. The second plan,
which is the better, but not generally prac-
ticed, is to fill the trenches with wanure
and set the roots on a level with the
ground, covering with rich earth. As they
send up the shoots follow with a mixture
of rich earth and manure, to which a fair
proportion of bone dust has been added,
and continue the hilling up until about

FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
DAILY THOUGHT.
There is somuch bad fn the best of us,
And $2 much good in the worst of us,
That it hardiy behooves any of us,
To talk about the rest of us,
(Gor. Edward W. Hock, of Kansas.)
Some attractive models of the plainer
types of suits show jackets which are made
of contrasting material to the skirt, the
only thing that connects the two beiog
collars and cufls of the skirt material added
to the coat.
With one particularly stunning walking
suit even that connection was missing, yet
jacket and skirt very evidently belonged
together.
e¢ skirt was of striped material, so
deftly made that it seemed like a plain
cloth until you got close to it. And the
way it was cut brought the stripes to-
her directly in front into sharp diagonal
ines. The jacket was plain cloth, exactly
the same color as the striped stuff, and the
velvet collar the color note—only
more insistently—of the stripe itself.
For such coats the regulation coat sleeve
is used almost entirely, usually with some
sort of a trim little cuff.
In length, most of them are about hip
length, and they are fitted closely —either
double or single breasted—or are semi-
fitting. The loose coat, for such purposes,
is very seldom seen, except upon the very
young girl.
A great many caseimere effects are seen
in the new cloths—rich dark Scotch color-
ings and irregular weaves. Some of these
have self-toned raised figures; others are in
dnll rich colors.
As for plaide—though we are told it is to
be a strong plaid season—it is well to have
it forced home that this does not mean a
garish and impossible mixture of reds, blues,
yellows and greens puton in enormous
squares. Such plaids may look well on
the doughty ‘‘Highlander’ or the small
American girlie under a dozen years, but
bave never been appropriate for a grown
woman, for street wear even when in
fashion. This year, fortunately, in our
desire to avoid extremes even the plaids
are subdued —generally invisible, but with
a lovely undertone and unexpected bright
dashes to give them character.

A Japanese Fair.—Church workers who
have wearied of the regulation bazaars and
festivals might try baving a Japanese fair.
Japanese lanterns and crepe paper decora-
tions are always get-at-able, even when it
is impossible to secure the flowers specially
belonging to that interesting nation—the
cherry blossom, iris, snowball and wistaria.
It would add very much to the pictur-
esqueness of the occasion if all the aides
were garbed in Japanese costume, aud the

small tables, each one covered with a big
Japanese umbrella.

light repast, and cherry ice, with a tiny
paper umbrella sticking out of each cup,
would be charmingly appropriate.
Of coarse one fancy table devoted ex-
clusively to Jaapanese articles would be in
order, and no fair seems complete now-a-
days without its fortune-telling booth.
The Japanese fortune teller may make
herself as charming or as witch-like as her
fancy dictates, but if she will seat herself
on a straw mat under an umbrella, and
dis of the contents of a mysterious.
looking bag to the passers-by, at twenty-
five cents apiece, she can not fail to be in-
teresting. ;
The fortunes, which will tax the in-
genuity of the fair-givers to make varied,
should be written on Japanese paper nap-
kins—or the bag may be discarded and a
Fortune Tree substituted.
This tree, whose fruitis the egg of for-
tune, should be planted securely in a tub,
within easy reach of the fortune teller.
Eggshells, whose contents have carefully
been removed from one end, are stoffed
with confetti, among which is hidden the
fortune, written or printed on a small slip
of paper. Next paste a piece of paper over
the opening io the shell, cover this with
an appropriate bead dress, press into serv-
ice the artist ‘‘in your midst’ and with a
few clever strokes of the pencil the eggshell
is transformed into a very fair counterfeit
of a Japanese lady or gentleman.
A too liberal insistence on the virtues of
early rising, unaccompanied by the corollary
of ‘‘early to bed,” is apt to work much

TAFT STARTS FOR HAVANA
Havana, Sept. 12.—The government
is making final strenuous efforts to re-
store peace in Cuba and thus avoid
any kind of American intervention.
The object of these endeavors, it is
stated, is that it may be able to say
by the time Secretary Taft and Acting
Secretary of State Bacon arrive that
peace already has been secured and
that therefore there is no need for the
American government's intervention,
either to restore peace or insure perma-
nent tranquillity.
Members of the government say they
are making the efforts in accordance
with the advice contained in President
Roosevelt's letter; that they have no
objection to friendly assistance of the
United States in case it becomes neces-
sary, but that they believe they can
settle it between the government and
the revolutionists without the necessity
of any intervention. At least, they say,
they are making an attempt to accom-
plish this end unaided and with fair
prospects of success.
This is the latest phase of a rapidly-
changing situation that developed when
an extraordinary gazette was issued
containing a decree signed by Presi-
dent Palma on the recommendation of
the Secretary of Public Works Mont-
alvo. The decree follows:
“All campaign operations are sus-
pended, and in consequence the govern-
ment forces will act only on the defen-
sive throughout the republic. The sec-
retary of the interior will issue all the
necessary orders for the execution of
this decree.”
The decree caused great surprise, as
it was believed to signify a change of
heart by the government officials, who
for the past two days have been strong-
ly against taking up peace overtures
with the emissaries of the revolution-
ists.
The three American warships are the
most imposing and interesting objects
in Havana bay. Their presence, unde-
signedly yet pointedly, is typical of the
| fact that it is the intention of the Unit-
Divide perennials that have grown too |
large. Most perennials will be betier if
ed States to take a hand in Cuban af-
fairs to the extent at least of bringing
| order out of the present chaotic condi-
tions.
The cruiser Des Moines arrived Sat-
urday and the auxiliary cruiser Dixie,
with 250 marines on board and ready at
a moment's notice to land field pleces
and rapid-five guns, came later, and
was ordered to proceed to Cienfuegos.
It is believed that the small force of
the gunboat Marietta is not considered
a sufficient guard, owing to the condi
tions in the besieged city.
If Commander Colwell's mission here
was in the nature of making peace ne-
gotiations he could hardly be more
busy. He is receiving delegates repre-
senting the insurgents and even some
of the insurgents themselves, who are
anxious, through him, to negotiate
peace of some kind. He has held con-
sultations with these emissaries, but
declines to do otherwise than recom-
mend that they go to their govern-
ment.
TAFT STARTS FOR CUBA
Navy Department Ready to Land 4000
Armed Men on the Island.
Washington, Sept. 17. — Secretary
Taft and Assistant Secretary of State
Robert Bacon left Washington Sun-
day over the Atlantic Coast Line for
Tampa, Fla, to embark on a naval
vessel there for Havana, in accordance
with the instructions of President
Roosevelt to ascertain the exact po-
litical situation.
It was announced at the navy depart-
ment that the battleships Louisiana,
Virginia and New Jersey have been
ordered down the Atlantic coast on a
shake down cruise and they have been
directed to keep in touch with the gov-
ernment at Washington by wireless
telegraphy and if necessary in the
event of an emergency arising they
will be sent to Havana. It was also
etated that the cruisers Tacoma and
the Cleveland have sailed from Nor-
folk, Va. and that the cruisers Min-
neapolis and Newark will follow them.
The Minneapolis and Newark carry
about 700 men altogether and the Ta-
coma 150. Should all these vessels g0
to Havana the navy would be able to
land a force of 4000 men in Cuba by
Wednesday or Thursday, if any devel

HOSTILITIES SUSPENDED
Cuban Rebels Are Indhferent Over
Peace Plans.
Havana, Sept. 18.—The only results
thus far of President Palma's order
for the suspension of hostilities have
been that Liberal leaders, who hith-
erto have had every reason for antici-
pating arrest, are circulating openly
in Havana again, and even conferring
with members of the government with
regard to peace, and that such insur-
oents in the field as have been con-
sulted, while they express themselves
as agreeable to settling matters amic-
ably, at the same time assume an in-
dependent attitude which cannot be
said to bode particularly well for a
prompt settlement of existing difficul-
ties.
The peace endeavors have really re-
solved themselves more into negotia-
tions between the Moderates and Lib-
erals than between the government
and the insurgents. The Moderates,
while entireiy loyal to President Pal-
ma, seem now to be less concerned
over his continuance in office than with
the perpetuation of the control by their
party. Mendez Capote, as president of
the Moderate organization, and Alfre-
do Zayas as president of the Liberal
party, will largely be able to dominate
the situation.
Felipe Romero, who was instrumen-
tal in reviving the peace negotiations.
said that the insurgents outside of Ha-
vana were ready to resort to arms at
a moment's notice if evidence devel-
oped of lack of faith on the part of the
government, but that they were anx-
fous to accelerate the peace efforts if
justice was done. He added that the
presence of the cruiser Denver had
nothing to do with their remaining out
of Havana.
Romero asserted that until now
President Palma was not fully cogni-
zant of the strength of the insurgents.
The Liberals, he said, are satisfed that
President Palma is conscientipus, but
insist that alleged election {llegalities
and injustices must be rectified.

Wear THE KIDNEYS DO.

Heavruy.
All the blood in the body passes through the
xidneys once every three minutes. The kidneys
filter the blood. They work night and day.
When healthy they remove about 500 grains of
impure matter daily, when unhealthy some part
of this impure matter is left in the blood. This
brings on many diseases and symptoms—pain in
the back, headache, nervousness, hot, dry ekin,
rheumatism, gout, gravel, disorders of the eye-
sight and hearing, dizziness, irregular heart, te-
bility, drowsiness, dropas, deposits in the urine
ete. But if you keep the filters right you will
have no trouble with your kidneys.
